mircea_popescu: for one
thing, nicotine is not addictive. for
the other
thing, EVERYTHING in
the us is glue paint and floor sweepings, from usda a+ beef
to coca cola.
mircea_popescu: ~none~ of
the points are factual. moreover, imagine an "encyclopedic" article on, say, obama, in
the same
terms.
mircea_popescu: scraps, and shaped into curls.[1]
The cigarette is ignited at one end, causing it
to smolder and allowing smoke
to be inhaled from
the other end, which is held in or
to
the mouth. Most modern cigarettes are filtered, although
this does not make
them safer. Cigarette manufacturers have described cigarettes as a drug administration system for
the delivery of nicotine in acceptable and attractive form.[2][3][4][5] Cigarettes ar
mircea_popescu: "A cigarette is a narrow cylinder containing psychoactive material, usually
tobacco,
that is rolled into
thin paper for smoking. Most cigarettes contain a "reconstituted
tobacco" product known as "sheet", which consists of "recycled [tobacco] stems, stalks, scraps, collected dust, and floor sweepings",
to which are added glue, chemicals and fillers;
the product is
then sprayed with nicotine
that was extracted from
the
tobacco
mats: asciilifeform: any idea what
thats called? i
thought 'food stamps' (EBT) are a debit card
BingoBoingo: Indeed. Which network
the employer picks determines employee dietary decisions.
BingoBoingo: Then again here
they also have
this privatized food stand deal where employers can issue a part of employee pay as "alimentation
tickets"
BingoBoingo: They
try
that here
too. Pay with card get X% back as VAT rebate.
BingoBoingo: They
try
that here. Many of
the big chain sucker
traps here will offer incredible discounts for using
the right card
to
the point it is anti advertising
the pricing of
their wares.
BingoBoingo: Well, one
thing
the oppresive VAT here does is keep something of a cash economy alive
BingoBoingo: Plenty of
times in old country I'd see
the Amish buggies going up IL-13
to
the Murphysboro Walmart in order
to commune with Inca
BingoBoingo: Ah yes, even
the Amish go
to Walmart in
the US
BingoBoingo: 's easy
to hide
the inputs behind big ears
BingoBoingo: Well,
that's
the story of all state projects.
The "factor in" part.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well,
thing was born as pseudo-civilian cover for missile
technology development
BingoBoingo: ;tldr
Teen scams unicife out of 1000 USD, national news
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mocky did some (very good btw) work on
the foxybot ;

a111: Logged on 2019-01-06 15:45 asciilifeform: so
theoretically can have a steinized daykin ( it remains
to be sweated out whether
this is moar economical
than stein, i'ma get
to it
today )
diana_coman: myeah, all sorts of practical restrictions
to consider here; I just wanted
to make sure I'm not overlooking some available option before weighing
them
diana_coman: ugh, I was rather hoping I was just
thick and not getting it
diana_coman: mainly because
the whole
thing is anyway only one
thread of
the mess as it were; but yes, reentrant should work
too
diana_coman: in
the vein of "fork in cpp and from
that
thread call Ada proc
that
then spawns
tasks"?
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
the concrete mess is
this: smg_comms is in Ada, has sender and receiver
task
types so one can create
those as needed, perfect; onth eulora client is
this ball of CPP mess and it's unclear
to me if it can even be made
to use smg comms as it is or what
diana_coman: does anybody know whether/how can I use Ada
task
types from C/CPP code? afaik from GNAT docs
there isn't a way
to export
task
types as such
a111: Logged on 2019-01-06 09:42 phf: i agree
that
the secrecy approach doesn't work, i wasn't
the driver behind it, i was skeptical about it, but i wanted
to see it play out, and it failed spectacularly. i did
the relevant manual labor and promised not
to share what i got out of it. and yes if i
thought about it,
the blood oath puts me in
the position of
the very same whisperers, where whatever i have i can't make use of. my vague comments about old men and gold chests are
BingoBoingo: Yes, in Angloland "escuela de Rugby" might imply something vagualy masculine, but here... It's old women

to save little boys from futbol
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cuz whenever
they hire a new "engineer" he just dumps more code in
the pub and
that's it, "he fixed
things" << AHA Heathen WP Pluginisms
mircea_popescu: cuz whenever

that's it, "he fixed

mircea_popescu: i expect what really is going on is
that
they have half dozen copies of
the "same" lib, diff versions, w/e, and
they load
them all i nthe hopes one works.

the sheer insanity of
the js loading model. who
the fuck can't put it all in one file ?
BingoBoingo: Possible, Goats are know
to eat sheet metal and Llamas are big goats in hairy armor
BingoBoingo: Apparently
there's no phones up in Llama herding country
BingoBoingo: Hard

tell. ~half
the conversation was in spanish. Girl's dad made a phone call because he went into
the city as he does from
time
to
time.
BingoBoingo: lol, I actually had occasion
to hear Incan language last week.
mircea_popescu: much like "all
that needs
to be, or can be expressed in redskin
tongue
takes <1 page, which is why
they don't need writing, can remember a page"
mircea_popescu: there's never been, since
the origin of
the world, cause or use for a full 100kb of js. what fucking 730k,
there's not
that much
to say in
that scriptlang.
mircea_popescu: "dDLzd487PGS.js" is 718514 bytes ; "uGPoR8851vS.js" is 730348 bytes.
this is just a SECTION

the
trait hasn eysenck called 'psychoticism'
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-08#1193607 <<
this makes for a pretty lulzy re-read, in
the context of
the meanwhile better fleshed out notions of structure and
trees and whatnot. isn't it obvious, asciilifeform ,
that
the ~substantial difference~ is not at all
the "head rng" but simply
the extension and especially quality of
the conceptual
trees involved ?
the "head v" so
to speak ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "being in legal
trouble" is generally a decent first order approximation of
that youth. (not
that
the empire isn't abusing imagignarly "legal process"
to attempt
to wage war and other such bs, but i guarantee you nobody
targetted some schmuck selling fireworks in rural bumfuck because of his roger ver-ness.)
mircea_popescu: so
the idea of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881910 isn't as much "don't make promises
to people outside
the walls" ; it's rather "don't make
the ~sort of promises~
they make outside
the walls ; but if you're
too young
to know
the difference don't make any at all".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: saeculum promises include
the unpromiseable so regularily as
to naturally create
the suspicion it's deliberate.
mircea_popescu: d contrast
this with "marriage vows" or whatever bullshit in
this vein.
